	PREAMBLE
	In Call for Applications to Provide an All Channel Alert¹ (ACA²) Service, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-38, 22 April 2005, the Commission announced that it had received an application for authority to provide an All Channel Alert (ACA) service to broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) across Canada. In view of the nature, scope and national implications of the proposal, the Commission called for competing applications. In response to the call, two other applications were received.
	The specifics of the applications by Pelmorex Communications Inc., Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership are set out below.
	The Commission notes that the three applications for alert services are not technically mutually exclusive.
	The Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, items 4 to 57 during the non-appearance phase of the public hearing.
1.	Across Canada Application No. 2004-1260-2
	Application by Pelmorex Communications Inc. (Pelmorex) to amend its licence for The Weather Network/MétéoMédia to provide an ALL CHANNEL ALERT³ (ACA⁴) service to broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) across Canada. If approved, the service would broadcast alerts and messages related to imminent or unexpected threats to life or property caused by severe weather disturbances, natural disasters or other emergencies in local, regional and national areas of Canada for distribution on the licensee's services and on the other channels offered by BDUs that distribute the licensee's services.
	These alerts would be broadcast on behalf of authorized federal government agencies, such as Environment Canada, as well as the appropriate provincial and territorial bodies. Television viewers in the areas affected would receive the local alerts regardless of which channel they are watching.
	To implement this proposal, Pelmorex is proposing to replace The Weather Network/MétéoMédia's current conditions of licence 1(a), 3(a) and 5, with the following (the revised COLs are noted in italics):
	1. (a) The programming provided by the licensee shall be dedicated exclusively to video programming, text and graphics related to:
	(i) meteorological, atmospheric and marine conditions for local, regional and national areas of Canada, and international areas as they may be of national interest to Canadians, as well as programming relating to the prevention and effects of these conditions; and
	(ii) alerts and messages related to imminent or unexpected threats to life or property caused by severe weather disturbances, natural disasters or other emergencies in local, regional and national areas of Canada for distribution on the licensee's services and on the other channels of broadcasting distribution undertakings which distribute the licensee's services.
	3. In accordance with the Commission's position on Canadian programming expenditures as set out in Public Notices CRTC 1993-93 and 1993-174,
	a) the licensee shall, in each broadcast year of the licence term, expend not less than 37% of its gross revenue (Canadian subscription and advertising revenues) of the previous year, derived from that portion of the service described in condition of licence 1(a)(i), on the investment in and/or acquisition of Canadian programs.
	5. For the duration of licence term, the licensee shall charge:
	(a) each exhibitor of the portion of the service described in condition of licence 1(a), a maximum wholesale rate of $0.23 per subscriber per month, where the service is distributed as part of the basic service; and
	(b) each distributor of the complete service described in conditions of licence 1(a) and 1(b), an additional wholesale rate of $0.08 per subscriber per month, provided that the licensee has (i) sent the exhibitor written notice of its intention to provide the complete service as described in conditions of licence 1(a) and 1(b) at least 180 days before the charge is made, or (ii) launched that portion of the service described in condition of licence 1(b) on the exhibitor's undertaking.
	The licensee further stated that, in the event the Commission wishes to apply the expenditure requirement to ACA revenues (i.e. the Commission does not approve the revision to condition of licence number 3 above), then Pelmorex requests that its wholesale fee be increased by $0.13 to a total of $0.36 per month.
	Pelmorex is also requesting that the Commission issue a distribution order pursuant to paragraph 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act. The distribution order would include the following three elements:
	A requirement that each Class 1 and direct-to-home (DTH) distribution undertaking distribute the ACA portion of The Weather Network/MétéoMédia when the service is made available to it by Pelmorex;
	an authorization for all undertakings to alter the programming services distributed on its undertaking in order to insert an ACA emergency message provided by Pelmorex; and
	an authorization for each Class 1 distribution undertaking that has its basic rate regulated in accordance with Part 5 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations to increase its basic monthly fee by an amount necessary to off-set the pass-through portion of that fee that is attributable to the distribution of ACA.
	Under the proposed order, all Class 1 BDUs, including multipoint distribution services (MDS), and DTH BDUs would be required to distribute the ACA service when it is made available to them by Pelmorex. The distribution of the ACA component of The Weather Network/MétéoMédia would be optional for Class 2 and Class 3 systems, as well as for licence exempt systems.

2.	Across Canada Application No. 2005-0874-9
	Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to provide an all-hazard, all-channel emergency broadcasting public alert service.
	According to the applicant, authorized alerting organizations would be responsible for encoding alert messages in a standard format based on specific informational and technical protocols. These organizations would include Environment Canada, the RCMP and Provincial Emergency Organizations (EMOs). The CBC would not exercise any control over the issuance, content or frequency of public alerts.
	These emergency alert messages would be delivered to CBC's National Alarm Centre in Ottawa and then uplinked for satellite distribution to the CBC's entire radio transmission backbone. Emergency Alert System (EAS) decoders at the transmitter sites would decode the standardized alert messages and broadcast them if the message is relevant to the geographic area served by the radio transmitter.
	The CBC will seek the funding for this system directly from the Government of Canada through Industry Canada's recently approved CANALERT initiative, a national emergency public alerting strategy and system.
	The applicant has requested that the Commission amend section 7(d) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations to permit BDUs to distribute the emergency alerts once a BDU has entered into an agreement with an alert provider.
	Under the applicant's proposal, section 7(d) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations currently states:
	7. A licensee shall not alter or delete a programming service in a licensed area in the course of its distribution except
	(d) for the purpose of altering a programming service to insert an emergency alert message in accordance with an agreement entered into with the operator of the service or the network responsible for the service;
	Section7(d) would be revised as follows:
	7. A licensee shall not alter or delete a programming service in a licensed area in the course of its distribution except
	(d) for the purpose of transmitting an authorized emergency public alert message;
	Cable and DTH operators could voluntarily participate in this system by introducing EAS decoders at their headends and, subject to the amendment to the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations being sought in this application, switch all channels distributed on their undertakings to the alert message.

3.	Across Canada Application No. 2005-0872-3
	Application by Bell ExpressVu Inc. (the general partner), and BCE Inc. and 4119649 Canada Inc. (partners in BCE Holdings G.P., a general partnership that is the limited partner), carrying on business as Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership (ExpressVu) for authorization to provide an all channel emergency alerting service.
	According to the applicant, notification of imminent threats to public safety would be received by ExpressVu either directly from CANALERT when it becomes fully operational within the next five years, from CANALERT via an authorized third-party emergency alert service provider, or directly from a third-party service provider. ExpressVu would then insert the alert over the in-progress programming of all television programs and services it distributes. The alert message would take the form of bilingual alphanumeric crawls and audio warnings in either a national or geographically focused dispersal pattern as the situation demands.
	The applicant states that, in funding its emergency alert service, no monthly fees would be imposed upon ExpressVu's subscribers.
	ExpressVu has also applied for a condition of licence to its DTH broadcasting distribution licence, relieving it of the obligation set out in Section 7(d) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations to obtain the agreement of the operator of a programming service or the network responsible for the service prior to inserting an emergency alert message into the programming service.

	The new condition of licence would read as follows:
